Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Blackwood´s Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 106: July-December, 1869 Any account of Grayport, however slight, would be incomplete without something more than a bare allusion to the great man of the neighbourhood. But before anything is said of the Earl of Farleigh, it is only due to the princess Rose to give an outline of her uneventful history during the time that her prince was engaged in breaking the hearts of foreign ladies. The Baron, then, was grimmer than ever; for the pride in his nephews talents, which somehow underlaid all his ungraciousness, made him, after all, inclined to regret the Frankfort scheme; but, after his usual manner, he chose to express his regret, which he did not own even to himself, by daily complaints of Arthur´s failure to send the promised letter. He even had a touch of the gout for the second time in his life: he ate more than ever - and drank more also, so that the redness of his face became rather alarming. Of Brandon, Rose could not avoid seeing a good deal; but although she was unable to find anything personally objectionable about him, and though he was always most kind and courteous to her, still she remained true to her colours, like a little heroine as she was, and proclaimed "No surrender" - a proceeding which puzzled Brandon extremely, as well it might, seeing that she treated him almost rudely, without any apparent cause. It was not for want of good-breeding, that he could see; and so he became rather piqued in his own turn. It was almost the first wound to his self-esteem that he had ever received from the hand of a woman; and doubtless, though in this case it was dealt unjustly, it did him all the good in the world. And yet sometimes he was inclined to set her down as being, after all, nothing more than a mere provincial coquette, and of rather a clumsy sort; nor, judging from her outward conduct towards him, was the idea quite unreasonable, in spite of its being in reality as wrong as possible.
